Another Murder Trial.

Kansas City, Jan. Is -James Dimmit,
young colored man, was arraigned in the
criminal court this morning on tue charge
of killing on October /, 1886, George Ey-
ans, who was the colored porter OF the
Annex saloon, on Sixth street between
Main and Walnut streets The murder
grew out of quarrel over dice in that
saloon and ended by Dimmit hitting Ev-
ans in the head with a stone, from the
effects of which he died few days after.
A petition for continuance of the case
until the next term of court was filed by
the defendant this morning on the ground
that the principal witness, William Bird,
an employee of the Clifton House, was abb
sent from the city.
The motion for a continuance was over
ruled by Jude White and a special panel
of twenty jurors ordered from which to
make their challenges.
On account of the privilege of the de-
tense in a trial for murder having the
allowance of forty-eight hours in which to
make the jury challenged which was taken
advantage of by the attorneys of James
Dimmit), the venire OF twenty Jurors sub
pCened were excused until o'clock Satur-
day afternoon and court adjoured until 10
a. %. of that day.

AUDITOR WALKER.
Grave Charges Made Against him
BY enc OF His DepOsed
Clerks.

Jefferson City, Jan. 10.-(Special)-
Since the organization of the state legis-
lature rumOrs and rep rts have been cir
culated, rejecting seriously upon the hon.
esty and integrity OF state auditor Walker
and 1t is now generally believed that the
auditor, at the urgent solicitation of his
friends, has concluded to ask of the gener-
al assembly the appointment of a commit
tee to investigate the management of his
office, and forever set at rest all question
concerning his action as state official OF
the several charges made against Mr..
Walker, only one appears to have any
foundation, or is fathered by any particu-
lar person. This charge is preferred by Mr..
Charles Pollock, an ex-clerk In the audi
tO.'s office, and the offense, according to
Mr.. POllOck's story, consists in the ac-
ceptance, by auditor Walker. of a very
considerable portion of Mr.. Pollock's sal
airy, which was paid by Mr.. Pollock, un-
der the impression that his place depended
upon u compliance with Mr.. Walkers re-
quest. On the first of January Mr.. Pol
lock was discharged from his position un-
der the auditor, and his friends have been
active ever since in spreading
reports derogatory to the auditors charac-
ter. 1t is lieved that an investiga-
ting committee will be asked for and an.
pointed immediately after the house COM
mittees are announced by Speaker Alex
ander. Mr.. Charles A. Pollock 10 CONVEX
satiOn with BAzOo reporter this morning
said:
"The reports concerning the acceptancs
by Auditor Walker of a portion of my sal
airy while was employed in his office are
true. Twas employed at salary of $500
year, and was surprised on receiving the
warrant for my pay to notice that il called
for SIPS during the months of January,
February and March, of 1885, the first
three months of my service. continued
to receive sl25 per month. AT the end
of that time Auditor Walker informed me
that in view OF the fact that his election
expenses had been very heavy and that it
was customary In other departments for
the clerks to contribute toward liquidating
these expenses by paying certain amount
monthly out OF their salaries to the head
of the department, he asked me to paw to
him $50 out OF my salary every month.
In April and May | paid
to auditor Walker, personally the sum of
500, $50 each month which amount he
received without question, about that
time there appeared in the Public Print
an article about the levying of assessments
by state officials upon their clerks. be-
came frightened and so informed Mr..
Walker and it was agreed that in the
future should deposit the sum of $50 per
month in the, bank and turn it over to him
at the end of my term of Office. This 1

The walker-PollOck Sensation

Jefferson City, Jan. 11.-[Special]. The
all-absorbing topic to-day in political and
social cirbles has been the charges made
public in the morning papers against Au-
ditor Walker, in which he is openly chaIg-
ed by ex-clerk Pollock with bribery in
office. in having retained portion of his,
Pollock's, salary, as a condition of his re-
tention OF his services rs clerk. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that Nj. Walker
was highly indignant when he read the ar
ticles, so much so that were
it not for his steadfast christian principles
he would have been justified even in an
indulgence of little mild profanity. As
it is however, he contented himself with
promulgating this morning the following
epistle;
card TO THE PUBLIC"
"To the people of the state of Missouri ::
In Yesterdays Post Dispatch and to-day'S
Globe Democrat am charged upon the au-
thority of Charles A. Pollock, whom | was
compelled to discharge from my office for
drunkenness, inattention to duty and
quarrelsomeness, with corruptly retaining
a portion of his salary. | denOunce as
unqualiiedly false, every statement in
either paper, that accuses me OF, at any
time, corruptly receiving or offering
to receive of Charles A. Pollock any
sum of money whatever.

In connection with the above charge
Others are also being made of quite as SER
ious a nature but the general impression
seems to prevail that they all emanate
from the same source though no one has
yet come forward, not even Pollock to
father them One of these charges is
that Mr.. Walker while acting as a COM
missioner for the location of branch pen

there is certain to be an investigation
which will cause somebody's bones 10
ache to the marrow, as Mr.. Walker Is an
old citizen noted for his stern integrity
and honesty in the past, while his accusers
are more noted for their loose living and
fast ways than anything else, especially is
this the case with young Pollock if the re-
ports obtained by close inquiry among
the people of Jefferson City can be at all
relied upon. He has the name here of be-
ing "good fellow, fond of social bowl
and figuring as a society man" While

Missouri Pacific passenger train No. z,

took an active part in the suppression of
the agitators at Atchison and Kansas

1t was believed that the rail that was
loosened at Wyandotte was intended
to catch Dewitt, but the wreck
ers missed their calculation and the history
of that is known to the world. To-day IL
has been discovered that the cause of the
accident at Dunbar is that rail was loos-
ened, the spikes were pulled and the fish
plates removed, hence the acct
dent and death of poor, brave Jim
Dewitt. The tool house of the Burlington
and Missouri river road at Dunbar, was
burglarize last night, and the tools to do
their fatal work were taken from that tool
